Paulding County Recycling Event THIS Saturday!

The special recycling event is almost here (July 20th from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. across from the Paulding fairgrounds) and I wanted to provide some additional details. Call Shannon at 419-399-3630 with questions.

1. Upon arrival, you will see balloons. That will be your entrance as all others will be blocked off. Please pull in and drive to where the canopy will be set up for verification of residency.

2. After your residency is established, you will be directed to drive to the appropriate vehicle for dropping your material. We will have signs indicating what each location is taking.

3. After unloading your recyclables, you will be directed to drive down the long, stoned driveway and then exit back out on Fairground Drive. 

4. To provide a smooth, efficient event, please be patient and follow the signs. I’m uncertain of what the response will be to our First Annual Recycling Extravaganza so we’re on a learning curve. 

REMINDERS:

1. There is a 4-tire limit with no exceptions. Be prepared to unload and stack your tires in the trailer provided. There is no size restriction and they can still be on the rim.

2. Water-based paint/stains only.

3. Fluorescent bulbs need to be taped together at top and bottom if more than one bulb.

4. Please refer to the E-Waste list that was provided in the WBN, Progress and on the Program website. www.pauldingcountywmea.com

 If after reading the list, you’re still uncertain, then bring the item and we’ll let the subject matter experts make the determination on-site.     

We do reserve the right to decline any item not deemed recyclable.
